Exploring Ivan Doig: A Discussion Series

The MSU Library and Country Bookshelf invite local readers to join us for Exploring Ivan Doig: A Discussion Series, a series of book group-style discussions to explore the works of beloved Montana author Ivan Doig.

Each month from May through September we will focus our discussion on one book, starting with This House of Sky on Wednesday, May 2nd, at the Country Bookshelf in downtown Bozeman. See below for the full schedule.

We look forward to hearing a wide variety of responses to Doig’s work and the Montana stories of his readers. Additionally, we will share insights – including unpublished documents, letters, photos and sounds – from the Ivan Doig Archive which is also available for free public access at ivandoig.montana.edu.

At fifty-something, environmental reporter Mitch Rozier has grown estranged from Seattle's coffee shop and cyber culture. His newspaper is going under, and his relationship with Lexa McCaskill is stalled at "just living together." Then, he is summoned by his sly, exasperating father, Lyle, back to the family land, which Lyle plans to sell in the latest of his get-rich schemes before dying.
